Tooth eruption
Hi , my 3 year 3 months old son has only 16 teeth so far, recently only the first molar has started erupting. Is this considered late teething ? I have been reading that kids should have got all their 20 primary teeth by the age of 3. Please note he also got his first tooth on his first birthday. He hasn't been teething after he turned 26 months old.
